Surrey vs Essex Top Batter
Will Jacks to be the Top Batter for Surrey
Will Jacks scored 97 runs in his last match against Middlesex at The Kennington Oval, the same venue where he will be playing against Essex. This season, Jacks has accumulated 187 runs in just 4 matches, averaging 46.75 with a strike rate of 178.09. At The Kennington Oval, in 43 T20 Blast matches, Jacks has scored 1161 runs at an average of 32.25. Against Essex, he has scored 221 runs in 10 matches, averaging 27.62. Given his current form, we back Jacks to once again be the top batter for Surrey.
Jordan Cox to be the Top Batter for Essex
Jordan Cox has been Essex's consistent run-scorer in recent times, having accumulated 182 runs in 5 matches at an average of 36.40 and a striking strike rate of 156.89. He is in top-notch form at the moment; in the last match, he scored 25 runs against Gloucestershire but couldn't convert it into a larger innings. At The Kennington Oval, in 4 matches, he has scored 64 runs, averaging 21. Against Surrey, he has scored 154 runs in 7 matches, averaging 30.80. In this must-win match for Essex, we back Jordan Cox to perform well and score the most runs for his team.
Surrey vs Essex Top Bowler
Mitchell Santner to be the Top Bowler for Surrey
The wizardly left-arm spinner, the Kiwis' captain Mitchell Santner, is having a wonderful time in the T20 Blast, where he has picked up 13 wickets in 6 matches, leading the charge with the ball for Surrey. In the last match against Middlesex, he finished with figures of 3/25. In the four matches he has played at The Kennington Oval this season, Santner has picked up 8 wickets.
Mohammad Amir to be the Top Bowler for Essex
Mohammad Amir has picked up 10 wickets in 9 matches for Essex this season, making him the leading wicket-taker for his team. Amir bowled a superb spell in the last match against Gloucestershire, finishing with figures of 3/33, and he will look to replicate that performance against Surrey. The conditions at The Oval tend to favor bowlers a bit, where he can get some swing early in the innings and effectively utilize his variations in the death overs.
